Review on Mind42 by Marco Habersham

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Mind42 is a web based application that allows you to create mind maps, diagrams, flowcharts, and organizational charts.

I've been working on a project recently where I needed to map out a process from start to finish. My boss told me that Mind42 was the perfect tool for creating the map. So I downloaded the software and tried it out. It was exactly what I needed and the price was unbeatable! When you first install this program, there's no tutorial or help file; so if you're like most developers (and even some non-developers), you will spend hours trying to figure things out before giving up completely. If you find yourself spending too much time figuring things out instead of actually getting work done, try installing the free version. You'll save money because you won't pay anything extra. But make sure to read all instructions carefully - there could be hidden gems in those manuals! Also don't expect any fancy features unless you pay more than $50/month per developer. In my case, however, I found many useful tools that were included as part of the standard package. Some of them are really great. For example, when I mapped out an entire development cycle, they had already thought of everything. Even though I only paid for half of what the full license would cost, I got almost every feature that was available at any point during the trial period. And now I'm using their "free" product regularly and loving it.

Pros
  • No programming required!
  • A few months ago I wanted to learn how to use the ModelBuilder to automate processes, and since then I've never looked back
  • Provides access to the model builder through a web browser, so you can work from anywhere and collaborate easily
Cons
  • You can always export your work and re-import it later
  • There's no help files, so it can be difficult to understand certain aspects of the software.
